About the Author

Jaegur Martin

400+ Published Articles · Radio & Television · Audiences of 8,000+

Jaegur Martin is a reformed financial analyst with over 400 published articles, who has lectured to audiences of 8,000+, appeared on radio and television, and built a reputation for untangling complex systems — financial, ideological, and human — with wit as dry as an audit report, and considerably more entertaining.

His first books were non-fiction, timely and relevant, and are currently out of print. He has since begun the more personal journey of writing novels that live at the intersection of fact and fiction. The Borrowed Beliefs Series is that journey: a fiction series about identity, borrowed thinking, and what it means to finally think for yourself.

The first book, Taylor, Saylor, Poorman, Thief, gets us thinking about our beliefs around money — which ideas we inherited, which ones we never questioned, and which ones quietly shaped us. Jaegur engages with you and transforms your own thinking while you are drawn into the characters and the narrative.

He imagines a better world without ideology — and without people delegating their thinking to machines and institutions. A world where people can return to their authentic selves again.

My Last Word on Capitec’s Brilliant Results

I have spent several decades examining JSE-listed companies and ended up with a deep fascination for one company — Capitec Bank. I can honestly think of no other post-apartheid South African company that has delivered more for shareholders and clients. It is genuinely an exceptional business. Twenty-four years of consistent growth — from what was […]
